The art of reading / Eric Gould, Robert Di Yanni and William Smith - New York : Random House, c1987 - xiii, 750 pages ; 24 cm.
Includes index.
Section I. Reading -- Section II. Education and perception -- Section III. Culture, arts and creativity -- Section IV. Power, ethics and responsibility -- Section V. The nation and international relation -- Section VI. Society and history -- Section VII. Religion and world views -- Section VIII. Science, technology and the future.
Reading is a creative act, just like writing, painting, sculpting, or composing music. To create is to make something, to bring it into being, to cause it to grow. But what can we possibly make by reading? It seems instead like a passive event: we soak up information, absorb details, and are persuaded or not by what we read.
